> I'm just saying I think GPT does exhibit some logical reasoning abilities and not merely remembering statistical patterns. I agree with most of your reply, except this bit. I mean, generating a response through statistical language patterns is a sort of reasoning, and ChatGPT has been accurate enough to replace internet search for me quite often. But it also generates bullshit that an untrained eye would miss (because the bullshit it generated was statistically plausible). When it get things wrong it generates some comically wrong behavior. I had one case where it looped through variations of the same wrong response - precisely because it is unable to do any kind of logical reasoning upon faulty or inaccurate data.
